She further satirized the allegations by stating, “I always talk about how much I hate Wolverine and Deadpool. I talk about it all the time. I also wish I’d just sit down and stop pushing my feminist agenda and just realize that [‘Deadpool & Wolverine’] made a lot of money and ‘She-Hulk’ only made three dollars,” she added.
Tatiana further emphasized the rumors and claimed that she really got kicked out due to her woke agenda. It is clear that Maslany’s comments were meant to poke fun at the ridiculousness of the online rumor.
By addressing the issue with humor, she effectively dismissed the baseless claims, and also highlighted the absurdity of such accusations.
Why ‘She-Hulk’ Received Heavy Backlash
‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law‘ received mixed reactions from fans and critics. While some praised the show’s humor, feminist themes, and breaking the fourth wall, others criticized its tone and pacing. Some viewers felt that the show was too “woke” or that it did not live up to the expectations set by previous MCU projects.

The show’s overall light-hearted tone, often leaning towards comedy, didn’t resonate with fans. It’s known now that comedy doesn’t always sit right with Marvel fans. Even Chris Hemsworth’s ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ sunk due to its overly unserious comedic tone.
Despite the mixed reception, Maslany’s performance as She-Hulk was praised. However, a lot of people also bombarded the actress with hate for her portrayal. Despite these criticisms, ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ was a bold experiment that pushed the boundaries of the MCU.
